Calves are dying west of here with bloat
Here is a remedy: teaspoonful, each, of

4 quarter pint of boiling water. Give at
once by pouring down the calf's throat with
a long g-necked bottle. Rub the stomach of
the calf and cause it to move about, if pos
sfble, to get rid of the wind. Acute bloat

Health is unusually good in this vicinity,
considering the vast amount of wet, cloudy
weather which we have been having during
the past two weeks.
The farmers are making preparations for
farming, and judging from their extraordi-
naiy efforts in that business there will be n
larger acreage of corn planted this spring
